Presents a dazzling blend of celebrity portraits and male nudes, two photographic genres for which Greg Gorman has become justly celebrated. In many of the images, he actually succeeds in combining the two, such as the full-frontal poses of the Hollywood star/actor Keanu Reeves and a classic nude study with the actor/model David Sojka as the model. Includes portraits of John Waters, Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Robert de Niro, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Cruise, Barbra Streisand, Nicholas Cage, Sophia Loren, and John Travolta as well as more provocative portraits of such sex symbols as William McNamara, Joe Dalessandro, Maxwell Caulfield, Ethan Hawke, Christian Slater, and Aino Zeichner.

Perhaps best known for his arresting celebrity portraiture, Gorman has also brought his playful, rechnically brilliant apporoach to successful advertising campaigns-such as the renowned award-winning L.A. Eyeworks series, for which he enlisted cult figures Divine, Grace Jones, Andy Warhol, Partrica Hearst, John Waters and David Hockney-as well as numerous magazine layouts. album covers and music video and commercial direction. Gorman has also earnded an international reputation; exhibitions of his finde art photography have toured the world and his work appears frequently in publications such as Detour, Max, GQ, Elle, Vogue and American Photo.
